Outdoor table and seats

It’s easy to transform a tired outdoor table and seats into a stylish design feature with a little bit of help from Resene.

Ways with wood with Mark Rayner – 61

Difficulty level: Moderate

You will need: wooden table and seats, stiff bristled brush, bucket, garden sprayer, hose with clean running water, paintbrush and a paint stirrer.

Resene Moss & Mould Killer, Resene Timber and Deck Wash, Resene Woodsman Penetrating Oil Stain tinted to Resene Japanese Maple and a Resene paint pot and Resene Mineral Turpentine for washing the brush.

To get the look: Mark painted the background walls with Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Ragamuffin and Resene Polo Blue.
